Huang Gai and his men were still on their way to Yuzhang.
This time, Huang Gai and his men brought another 150,000 soldiers with them.
In addition to the 140,000 soldiers that they sent out earlier, Sun Quan also sent out 10,000 of his personal guards.
This time, Sun Quan was determined to kill every single person from the Shanyue.
During this period of time, rumors had been spreading all over Jiangdong. Everyone was in a state of panic.
Everyone agreed that the Jiangdong Army was no match for the Shanyue. As long as the Shanyue left the mountain, the entire Jiangdong would die.
Other than those who insisted on staying, many young people had already left their homes and fled the area closest to the Shanyue.
This included many people from Yuzhang.
After all, in order to prevent anyone from leaking the news, Tai Shici only told his trusted subordinates and soldiers that the Shanyue had been conquered.
Thus, the entire Yuzhang people thought that Tai Shici was still fighting the Shanyue with his soldiers.
But now that Tai Shici had gone in, he never came out again. The citizens of Yuzhang began to spread rumors that Tai Shici and his soldiers had been killed by the Shanyue.
As soon as the rumors spread, they spread like wildfire.
Thus, even though there were still 20,000 soldiers guarding the city, many of the citizens of Yuzhang had already left.
After all, Jiangdong was so big. Why would they choose to live in the most dangerous place?
This was especially so for the citizens of Yuzhang. They had seen the Shanyue's soldiers pillaging and burning with their own eyes.
As for Huang Gai, Gan Ning, and Cheng Pu, they had brought a lot of soldiers and supplies with them.
They were prepared for a tough battle with Shan Yue and were prepared for a protracted battle.
Not only that, these supplies would be distributed to the Ling Tong's soldiers who were guarding the frontlines.
"Gongfu, I remember that these Shanyue bandits weren't so arrogant when our late lord was around, right?"
At this moment, Cheng Pu whispered to Huang Gai.
Huang Gai sneered and said, "That's right.
Our late lord is the tiger of Jiangdong. Bo Fu is also the overlord of Jiangdong. "
"We have never lost a battle. Those Shanyue bandits can't even hide from us. Why would they dare to cause trouble for us?"
"But now, our lord is Wen Zhi. Those Shanyue bandits dare to act so arrogantly."
"Do you think I can't lift my 40 catties of whips?"
At this point, the three men burst out laughing.
"Speaking of which, that child Ling Cao isn't weak.. why was he almost annihilated by those Shanyue bandits?"
Huang Gai stroked his beard and asked in confusion.
"You're not the Shanyue."
Gongfu's Gongfu's army's. "
"Gongfu ''s Shanyue's. to the Shanyue's.
Shanyue's and the Sun Army...... ''s Gongfu''s's.
..... Shanyue's Shanyue '.....
"So what? Give me 50 thousand elite soldiers and I can still annihilate those bandits! "
"The way I see it, the child was too careless."
Gan Ning shook his head heavily.
"No, how are those 50 thousand elite soldiers?"
"I heard that they're all young master soldiers of landowning households!"
Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were startled when they heard this. They almost fell off their horses.
"What?!"
Gan Ning quickly made a shushing gesture.
"Don't tell anyone about this!"
"I'm not sure if this information is accurate, but if you think about it, with Gongfu's strength, he shouldn't have been beaten to this state by mere bandits, even if he was outnumbered."
Cheng Pu couldn't help but frown.
"What young master soldiers? How come I've never heard of them? "
Huang Gai narrowed his eyes.
"A small portion of these young master soldiers are young masters sent by landowning households. Most of the rest are guards sent to serve them."
"Sending them to the battlefield? Isn't that a joke?"
"Forget 50 thousand. Even if we give these young master soldiers five hundred thousand, they won't be able to defeat 30 thousand bandits!"
Cheng Pu was dumbfounded.
"How can this be? I've been in the army for many years, but I've never seen such soldiers! "
"How can they fight when they're so spoiled?"
Gan Ning waved his hand.
"These soldiers aren't used to fight. They're just there for show."
"When the time comes, they'll find a chance to return to their families. With this identity, who would say that they were promoted because of landowning households?"
"I just didn't expect Milord to send these young master soldiers to the battlefield."
Huang Gai shook his head.
"How can Milord be this kind of person?"
"Xingba, I think you've been tricked. I'd rather believe that Gongfu is too naive and underestimated the enemy. "
Gan Ning smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else.
In fact, Gan Ning had overheard this news by chance. He wasn't sure if it was true.
However, there was no smoke without fire. Moreover, there were no signs of young master soldiers in the capital camp of Wu County.
In the past, these young master soldiers would come out to patrol the security of Wu County.
Only then did Gan Ning believe the rumor.
Since Huang Gai and Cheng Pu didn't believe it, there was no need for Gan Ning to insist.
However, this made Gan Ning wary of his current lord.
Ling Tong's father Ling Tong was killed by Gan Ning before he joined the Sun Quan's camp. Because of this, Gan Ning felt guilty towards Ling Tong.
However, Ling Tong didn't pursue the matter because of Jiangdong.
Thus, Gan Ning decided to secretly ask Ling Tong when he arrived to confirm this matter.
If this was true, then he would have to be careful of Milord.
This wasn't a joke!
Sending young master soldiers to suppress bandits!
Wasn't it obvious that these young master soldiers and their generals were going to die together?!
"Speaking of which, who's the governor of Yuzhang?"
"I haven't been to Yuzhang for many years. I almost forgot."
At this moment, Huang Gai suddenly spoke.
Gan Ning frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "I remember.
It's Ziyi, isn't it? "
"Ziyi claimed many years ago that he was sick and unfit to fight. He became the governor of Yuzhang."
Huang Gai's eyes lit up.
"Ziyi!"
"Hahahaha, good, good, good!"
"This old man likes to fight alongside Ziyi!"
"Ziyi is righteous and knows when to stop. He also loves his soldiers like his own children. He's truly a good commander in Jiangdong!"
"It's a pity. Tell me, why doesn't Ziyi lead his soldiers?"
"I'm not much older than him, but I still go into battle."
Cheng Pu said in annoyance, "Old geezer, stop it.
"You old thing, stop talking. If you were sick, wouldn't you be coughing all day long? You'd be lucky if you didn't go to war! "
Hearing this, the three of them laughed out loud once again.
